Throw Out The Line

You see it all around you 
Good lovin' gone bad 
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had 
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago (Who told me) 

Just hold on loosely 
But don't let go 
If you cling to tightly 
You're gonna lose control 

Your baby needs someone to believe in 
And a whole lot of space to breathe in 

It's so damn easy, when your feelings are such 
To overprotect her, to love her too much 
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago (Who told me) 

Just hold on loosely 
But don't let go 
If you cling too tight babe 
You're gonna loose control 
Your baby needs someone to believe in 
And a whole lot of space to breathe in 
Don't let her slip away 

Sentimental fool 
Don't let your heart get in her way 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 

You see it all around you 
Good lovin' gone bad 
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had 

Just hold on loosely 
But don't let go 
If you cling to tightly 
You're gonna lose control 
Your baby needs someone to believe in 
And a whole lot of space to breathe in 
Just hold on loosely 
But don't let go 
If you cling too tight babe 
You're gonna lose it 
You're gonna, lose control 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 
Just hold on loosely 
But don't let go 
If you cling too tight babe 
You're gonna loose control 
Hold on loosely 
But don't let go 
If you cling too tight babe, 
You're gonna loose control 
Yeah, yeah, yeah
